Research

« Acute Mountain Sickness [AMS] is caused by a lack of oxygen when travelling to higher elevations. This usually occurs in individuals exposed to an altitude over 7,000 feet (2,100 m) who have not had a chance to acclimatise to the altitude before engaging in physical activities.
Mountain climbers, trekkers, skiers, and travellers to the Andes or Himalayas are at greatest risk... »

This study demonstrated a statistically significant increase, (p=.012) in FVC after IHT in both asthmatic and non-asthmatic participants. Some asthmatics showed an improvement in symptoms and a reduction in medication use.

Chris Reynolds	"I am a 48-yea-old male who lives in Tomball, Texas. My 15-year-old son and I climbed Kilimanjaro in late June. Despite ascending over 2000 meters (6600 feet) in the final 32 hours of our excursion, we never had serious symptoms of high altitude sickness. The most severe symptoms either of us had were mild headaches on a couple of occasions. Contrary to the experiences of others we encountered, we did not suffer from nausea, vomiting or delirium. We also took moderate doses of Diamox on the last 3 days of the climb. I attribute much of our success to our decision to purchase and use for acclimatization to portable Altipower units. We each trained for five weeks, usually six days per week. I took this precaution because we live at sea-level and neither one of us had ever hiked in a mountainous area or climbed anything other than stairs. There is no reason for so many people to suffer while they climb (and I saw plenty of people suffering and one emergency rescue). One should enjoy, not merely endure, the summit experience."

Morag	Hi Oleg, just to say we have reached the top of Kilimanjaro thanks to the hypoxicator, it definitely made a tremendous difference, I was the only person to not suffer from altitude sickness at all! and I reached the top first by at least 20 mins in a blizzard!! Thank you so much, Best Wishes Morag

TB	I climbed Kilimanjaro last year and was only 1 of 7 in a team of 24 that made it to the top. I was the first woman along with two men from our team to get there first. I also did not suffer from altitude sickness thanks to the hypoxicator, it definitely made a tremendous difference. To be honest whether it's for a trek or just to improve stamina and fitness this is worthwhile using. Take care and best regards TB

Steve Lombardi	“…Before purchasing the hypoxicator I attempted Kili in Feb. 2000 and again in Feb. 2001 and then Mt. Everest Base Camp in October 2002, but succumbed to HAPE each time. After using the Go2Altitude … I reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. (19,340 feet) I never felt as though my SpO2 was in any danger of falling below 84%... For me the hypoxicator works. Thanks.

	"I wanted to personally thank you again for you wonderful product. The hypoxicator was an essential part of my training before leaving on the Mt. Everest expedition. I truly believe that because of the combination of intermittent hypoxic training and knowledge of high altitude practices, I showed NO signs of HAPE, HACE, or an other high altitude related illness until I got above 8,000 meters. I was able to reach the summit in extremely high wind, snow, and whiteout conditions, and spent 3 days and nights in "The Death Zone", reaching 8,000+ meters without oxygen. I also managed to best my current world record for jumping rope at altitude by jumping rope at 8,000 meters. I am a big believer in your company and it has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt what your equipment can do for individuals looking for the fundamental edge in their particular discipline. I look forward to working with you here in the USA.

Gerard McDonnell	"..I made it to the summit [Mt. Everest] no bother. Next time I might try without supp. oxygen. Thanks

*Dr John Hellemans, Christchurch, New Zealand.*	“We had our unit installed in our sportsmedicine clinic approximately 5 years ago . I am very happy with the results. We have had over 200 athletes, mountaineers and patients use IHT with excellent results and a response rate of roughly 70-80% (based on subjective perception, testing and or blood tests). All mountaineers we have treated for altitude acclimatisation have responded dramatically reporting significant fewer problems when arriving at altitude.”

*Fletcher Derrik, MD*	"I climbed Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, East Africa August, 2003, and know the IHT played a big part in my success. I did not get high altitude sickness. My personal physician became interested in the machine and we determined a 10% increase in my hemoglobin. I trained on the IHT for 30 days."

POLAR ICE FREE-DIVING PIONEER ENDORSES ALTIPOWER	I have alway's been a believer in the benefits athletes recieve from Altitude Training , and it came as no suprise when I saw technology had progressed as much as to manufacture portable / armchair versions of an Altitude / Hypoxic Trainer ... This I read in 'Mens Journal' Magazine , April 2004 Edition ... The Article made references to an American Altitude / Hypoxic Equipment Supplier together with the manufacturers details themselves ... Having read through both the suppliers website & that of the manufacturer , in turn wetting my appitite to try , I began making contact with local IHT Centres , then laterly the manufacturers themselves ... Mr. Oleg Bassovitch BIOMEDTECH AUSTRALIA Pty. Ltd. , who was happy to provide 'Full Product Sponsorship' for myself , for my up-coming World Record Polar Ice Dives ... I have since gone on to complete a 25 day course , (Maximum of 3 per year) , and have been greatly impressed with the results ... I can now , not only hold my breath longer , static wise , but also hold my breath whilst finning ; and as we all know , when you move parts of your body whilst holding your breath , you deplete oxygen ... Now saying that , this is by no means a miracle aid , but , should you be in fairly good condition , athletic & health-wise , maintain a balanced diet , with beneficial vitamin supplement supply & train on a regular basis , this aid will GREATLY improve your satmina and allow you to train at a much higher level ... " IN SHORT , IT WORKS FOR ME , AND THAT IS WHY I AM PUTTING MY NAME TO IT " For more information on Daros 'Iceman' Gray and his Polarfreediver's , check out the following website ... http://www.polarfreedivers.com
